Powered by Question2AnswerAnswered: Why the prophet(saw) prohibit the writing of his hadith and what is the ruling on quran to be guided with the hadiths?http://answers.ahadith.co.uk/560/prophet-prohibit-writing-hadith-ruling-quran-guided-hadiths?show=562#a562
<p>
Salaams brother... you have asked a very broad question I hope to be as succinct as possible inshAllah.</p>
<p>
Allah (swt) says in the Qur'an:&nbsp;</p>
<p>
<strong>[33:22] Verily you have in the Prophet of Allah an excellent model, for him who fears Allah and the Last Day and who remembers Allah much.</strong></p>
<p>
<strong>[59:8] And whatsoever the Messenger gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain from <em>that</em>. And fear Allah; surely, Allah is Severe in retribution</strong></p>
<p>
Both these ayats along&nbsp;with many others and our Shahadah itself makes it abundantly clear that we take whatever Muhammad (saw) gave us IE we take his (saw) sunnah. Where there may seem to be a contradiction or discrepancy between a saying of the prophet (saw) or an action I will defer the specifics to a scholar. But on principal we know that everything that Muhammad (saw) said or did was wahy IE revelation and not from himself (saw). Allah (swt) confirms this by saying, <strong>“</strong><strong>[53:4] Nor does he speak out of <em>his own</em> desire.”</strong></p>
<p>
With this as our premise, you have asked, “why did the prophet (saw) prohibit the writing of his (saw) hadith?” The answer is quiet simple; it was so that his (saw) teachings are not mixed in with ayat’s of the Qur’an. We know that as revelation was sent down scribes like Zayd ibn Thabit (ra) wrote them down. These ayats were written down on all manner of things IE leaves, skin, etc. From this they were learned, studied and memorised. Suppose hadith’s were being written down, learned, studied and memorised at the same time as the Qur’an, the possibility of the mixing of Hadith’s with ayats of the Qur’an is there and so doing the aforementioned in relation to Hadith was forbidden. This in itself acts as 1 of many proofs that the Qur’an was not authored by Muhammad (saw) and instead is the work of Allah (swt).</p>
<p>
You further asked, “why were the Hadith compiled 150-200 years after Muhammad (saw) died?” Again this is a simple issue if one was to look at what has happening at the time. Under the Khalifah Umar Ibn Al Khattab (ra) it was agreed by consensus of the sahabah’s (ra) to compile the Qur’an which was completed under the Khilafah of Uthman ibn Affan (ra). During the period of the Khilafah Rashida there was great expansion. Amongst the mujaheed were prominent sahabah’s who would settle in the conquered lands and teach the people. However 150 years into the Khilafah there were no sahabah’s and the state had expanded from Spain to India. Furthermore these people were not Arabs. Therefore compiling and collecting Hadith and distributing them in written form, like the Qur’an had been compiled and duplicated over 100 years earlier, meant the Islamic scriptures can be distributed and were accessible to all. Suppose there was no compilation of the Qur’an or the Hadith how were people in territories which were tens of thousands of miles away from the originating lands of Islam to access them? Furthermore they weren’t even Arabs who had no knowledge or access to the Arabic language. The sahabah’s themselves and the early generations IE tabieen did not need written compilations since they were in the presence of and taught by Muhammad (saw) himself. But 150 years after these generations of people and with the new reality of an ever expanding and cosmopolitan Khilafah compilation became a necessity so that our scriptures become accessible to all. Alhumdulillah.</p>

<p>
Salaams... fasting is an individual duty as Allah (swt) has obliged EVERY Muslim who is of age and abled body and mind to fast:</p>
<p>
“O you who believe! fasting has been prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may attain Taqwa (piety). [2:184]</p>
<p>
Muhammad (saw) said: “Whenever you sight the new moon (of the month of Ramadhan) observe fast, and when you sight it (the new moon of Shawwal) break it, and if the sky is cloudy for you, then observe fast for thirty days”. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">[Muslim</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">]</span></p>
<p>
&nbsp;Those who are exempt have to make up their missed fasts or pay kaffara for each fast missed. In previous Q&amp;A's (<a href="http://answers.ahadith.co.uk/509/fasting-exempted-when-person-ill-later-has-make-now-question" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #0179b5;">http://answers.ahadith.co.uk/509/fasting-exempted-when-person-ill-later-has-make-now-question</span></a>) the exemptions to fasting have been given with explanations.</p>

<p>
On the Day of Resurrection, people will be raised from their graves and the children will also be raised in the state of childhood and youth in which they died, and they will intercede for their parents and admit them to Paradise by Allah’s mercy towards them:&nbsp;</p>
<p>
It was narrated that Abu Hassaan said: I said to Abu Hurayrah: Two of my sons have died. Can you narrate to me any hadeeth from the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) which will console us for our loss? He said: Yes: “Their little ones are the little ones (da’aamees) of Paradise. When one of them meets his father – or his parents – he takes hold of his garment – or his hand – as I am taking told of the hem of your garment, and he does not let go until Allaah admits him and his father to Paradise.”</p>
<p>
Narrated by Muslim, 2635&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Ibn al-Atheer said: Da’aamees is the plural of da’moos, which refers to a small creature that lives in ponds. Da’moos also refers to the one who wanders about, i.e., they go everywhere in Jannah, entering all places, and they will not be barred from any place, as children in this world are not barred from entering upon women and no one hides away from them. End quote. <i>Al-Nihaayah</i>, 2/279&nbsp;</p>
<p>
This hadeeth clearly indicates that the children will remain as children at the time of resurrection, recompense and reckoning, and even the miscarried foetus into whom the soul had been breathed will remain as he was on the day he was miscarried from his mother's womb.&nbsp;</p>http://answers.ahadith.co.uk/367/little-children-in-paradise?show=558#a558Mon, 21 Jul 2014 14:04:04 +0000Answered: Will I be forgiven by Allah after offending another Muslim?http://answers.ahadith.co.uk/500/will-i-be-forgiven-by-allah-after-offending-another-muslim?show=557#a557
Salaams... it is part of our Imaan to believe in Allah (swt's) mercy since Ar-Rahman is a part of Allah (swt's) Sifat as is often repeated in &quot;Bismillah hir Rahman ir Rahim&quot;<br />
<br />
Also this ayat like many make Allah (swt's) mercy abundantly clear: &quot;Say: O My servants who have transgressed against their own souls, despair not of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.&quot; (Surah az-Zumar 39:53)http://answers.ahadith.co.uk/500/will-i-be-forgiven-by-allah-after-offending-another-muslim?show=557#a557Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:58:49 +0000Answered: what are all the benefits if ayaat-e- kareema? i mean tasbeeh-e-yunus?http://answers.ahadith.co.uk/502/what-are-all-the-benefits-if-ayaat-kareema-mean-tasbeeh-yunus?show=556#a556
The benefits of reciting Tasbi E Yunus is highlighted in the following hadith:<br />
<br />
Sa’d Ibne Malik RA narates: I heard Prophet SAW Saying: Should I not inform you of Allah’s Greatest Name (Isme Azam) when dua is invoked with it, it is accepted and what is asked for thought it is given? This is the supplication through which Yunus (as) called Allah (swt) from within three darkness. This is as under: La ilaha illa anta,Subhanaka,Inni kuntu minaz-zalimin (There is no god but You, You are far exalted and above all weaknesses, and I was indeed the wrongdoer). A man asked: O Rasulullah, Is this dua special for Yunus (as) or for all the believers? Muhammad (saw) replied: Have you not heard the words of Allah (in the Quran): ”And We delivered Yunus(as) of his distress, thus We grant deliverance to all believers [Quran]”. Rasulullah (saw) said: When any Muslim makes dua with these words during his illness 40 times and then, if he dies of that disease, he is granted the reward of a martyr and if he recovers from that disease, then all his sins are forgiven. [Mustadrak Hakim]http://answers.ahadith.co.uk/502/what-are-all-the-benefits-if-ayaat-kareema-mean-tasbeeh-yunus?show=556#a556Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:52:15 +0000Answered: Who is an ideal husband in an Islamic view?http://answers.ahadith.co.uk/501/who-is-an-ideal-husband-in-an-islamic-view?show=555#a555
<p>
Salaams.. there isn't a formula to being an ideal husband or wife in that case, but there are&nbsp;<span id="misspelled">ayats</span> in which Allah (<span>swt</span>) describes what married life should be like for example:</p>
<p>
"And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect."&nbsp;<span>Surah</span>&nbsp;<span>Ar</span> Rum Verse 21.</p>
<p>
This&nbsp;ayah amongst many show you that married life should be one of&nbsp;tranquillity because we have been created for each other in whom we find love and mercy. Married life should be one where you think of the other person and what pleases them and BOTH parties will try to do what makes their spouse happy. This will ferment love between themselves and mercy when things go wrong or mistakes are made.</p>
<p>
Another example to look up and read about is the relationship between&nbsp;Khadijah (<span>ra</span>) and Muhammad (saw)... my post will be very long if I was to divulge into that relationship but please do read up on the wives of Muhammad (saw) and what their married life was like since they are our role model husband, wives, fathers and mothers.</p>

Salaams... I am aware of 2 reasons as to why women are not permitted to enter the graveyard. Though I am yet to come across the evidences for these. One is due to their wailing over the deceased and the 2nd is to maintain segregation. Though I do believe that this is moreso the case during the burial then after the burial.<br />

<p>
Salaams... Brother you said, "in languages there are words of expressions" these usually are cultural and so differ from culture to culture. For example when we sneeze we say, "Alhumdulillah" where as in the English Western world people ask to be "Blessed" or "Excused." In Islam there aren't fixed expressions though we do&nbsp;often have praises of <span>Subhanallah</span>,&nbsp;Alhumdullillah, <span>Astaghfirullah and the like</span>. Furthermore we refer to each other as brother and sister and that should generate love and mercy between us as the verses below elaborate.</p>
<p>
<span>Surah</span>&nbsp;Al&nbsp;<span>Hujurat</span> Verses 11-13:</p>
<p>
<b>11. </b>O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group, it may be that the latter are better than the former; nor let (some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than the former, nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it, to insult one's brother after having Faith [i.e. to call your Muslim brother (a faithful believer) as: "O sinner", or "O wicked", etc.]. And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed&nbsp;<i><span><i>Zalimun</i></span></i> (wrong-doers, etc.).</p>
<p>
<b>12. </b>O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions, indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting) . And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful.</p>
<p>
<b>13. </b>O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has <i>At-<span>Taqwa</span></i> [i.e. one of the&nbsp;<i><span><i>Muttaqun</i></span></i> (pious - see <span>V.2:2</span>)]. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.</p>

<p>
Salaams.. Allah (<span>swt</span>)&nbsp;<span>cleary</span> specifies in&nbsp;<span>Surah</span>&nbsp;<span>Taubah</span> verse 60 who is entitled to&nbsp;<span>Zakat</span> funds: Here is the verse in the Quran listing the 8 groups of people eligible to receive <span>Zakat</span>.<br>
<br>
"The alms are only for the <span>Fuqara</span>' (the poor), and Al-<span>Masakin</span> (the needy) and those employed to collect (the funds); <b>and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam)</b>; and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and for Allah's Cause, and for the wayfarer (a&nbsp;traveller who is cut off from everything); a duty imposed by Allah. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise." [Al-Quran 9:60]<br>
<br>
Clearly&nbsp;<span>Zakat</span> is levied upon and distributed amongst the Muslims. Only in the 4th group of people entitled to&nbsp;<span>zakat</span> in the verse, "and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam)" may be non-Muslims where you are trying to win them over to the <span>deen</span>. Not being able to give Zakat to non-Muslims however should not stop anyone from giving&nbsp;sadaqah to non-Muslims as is stated below:</p>
<p>
<span>Imaam</span>&nbsp;al-<span>Shaafa'i</span> said: “There is nothing wrong with giving charity to a&nbsp;<span>mushrik</span> as a&nbsp;<span>naafilah</span> (supererogatory) action, but he has no right to charity from the obligatory (<span>zakaah</span>).&nbsp;<span>Allaah</span> praised people who, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): <i>‘… they give food,&nbsp;<span>inspite</span> of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to the&nbsp;Miskeen (the poor), the orphan, and the captive’ [al-<span>Insaan</span> 76:8]</i>.” (<i><span><i>Kitaab</i></span> al-Umm</i>, part 2).</p>

Salaams brother just a snip-it of Umar's early life:<br />
<br />
Umar (ra) was born in Mecca around 580 AD to the Banu Adi clan, which was responsible for arbitrations among the tribes of Makkah. His father was Khattab ibn Nufayl and his mother was Hantama bint Hisham, from the tribe of Banu Makhzum. In his youth, Umar (ra) used to tend to his father’s camels in the plains near Mecca. His father was famed for his intelligence among his tribe. He was a middle class merchant and is believed to be a ruthless man who often treated Umar (ra) harshly. As obvious from Umar's (ra) own statement regarding his father, Umar (ra) said, &quot;My father Al-Khattab was a ruthless man. He used to make me work hard; if I didn't work he used to beat me and he used to work me to exhaustion.&quot;<br />

Your brother in Islamhttp://answers.ahadith.co.uk/532/about-hadrat-umar?show=547#a547Fri, 11 Jul 2014 07:40:08 +0000Answered: Is Brushing Teeth with paste substitute for "Miswak"?http://answers.ahadith.co.uk/521/is-brushing-teeth-with-paste-substitute-for-miswak?show=546#a546
The concept of using 'miswak' was simply to clean ones teeth/mouth. As in the days of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) there was no tooth-paste, so the best option used by the Prophet &nbsp;- Peace be upon him - was to use any thing to brush his tooth and the best available thing, in his opinion was 'miswak'. So using &nbsp;'miswak' is sunnah of the Prophet - Peace be upon him. &nbsp;Miswak has not doubt some chemical cleansing and antibiotic effects.<br />
<br />
So if any body uses 'miswak' &nbsp;as 'sunnah' then certainly he will be additionally &nbsp;rewarded. But if some one brushes his teeth with a paste, he will also be rewarded &nbsp;for following the 'sunnah' for keeping his teeth/mouth clean.<br />
<br />
Regarding equality of reward, it is Allah to decide not us.<br />

There is no such restriction. There is not a single 'sahih' (authentic) hadith in this regard. Any surah may be recited in any 'raka' of any prayer provided they are in sequence.<br />

Brother Saber, your question is not very much clear.<br />
<br />
If you are asking that whether 2 or more suras may be read after sura 'Fatiha' in prayers, then the answer is YES. Two or more suras may be read &nbsp;after 'Fatha' in prayers provided these suras are in sequence, That is if one has read 'Al-Kafiroon' and wish to add other suras with iy then the next added sura will 'Al-Nasr' then 'Al-Lahab then Al-Ikhlas and so on.<br />

The 'Fardh' (obligatory) prayers have priority over any other 'ibada' and or 'nafil' prayers.<br />
<br />
If the 'iqama' of any 'fardh' prayers is started then one should shorten his 'nafil' prayers and join the 'fardh' prayers.<br />
<br />
However, one humble suggestion in this regard that one should see whether any convenient &nbsp;time is left &nbsp;for any 'nafil' prayers, then he should go for that prayers.<br />
<br />
P.S: I am not a mufti or scholar of religion but simply a student of religion. &nbsp;This is my logical opinion, some may differ with it.<br />

Any thing that falls under the category of food (eatables), energy substitutes (vitamin tabs) or any thing like this can not be used during fasting.<br />
<br />
As nasal drops and inhalers (used by asthama patients) do not fall under the category of food can be used during fasting.<br />
<br />
However, there are opinions against it. &nbsp;You can opt any opinion depending upon your understanding and satisfaction.http://answers.ahadith.co.uk/538/is-it-allowed-to-using-nasal-drop-while-fasting?show=539#a539Tue, 08 Jul 2014 01:57:50 +0000Answered: How can we explain kadar (destiny) in Islam.http://answers.ahadith.co.uk/524/how-can-we-explain-kadar-destiny-in-islam?show=529#a529
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; direction: ltr; color: #000000; font-size: 10pt">
<p>
<span>Assalmu</span>&nbsp;<span>Alaikum</span>&nbsp;brother... this not a straight forward topic to discuss though I will try and be as&nbsp;succinct as possible <span>inshAllah</span>.</p>
<p>
You quoted, "after formation of every human being in the womb of their mothers their destiny is written by&nbsp;themselves - how someone can be judged by something he/she did not chose to do or be?"</p>
<p>
"Destiny" is understood to be our future and "written by&nbsp;themselves" means the action of a human being undertaken by him/herself. Where you are asking, "how can someone be judged by something he or she did not choose to do or be" is incorrect&nbsp;because the saying of "written by themselves" is&nbsp;precisely saying the opposite. If a persons destination is&nbsp;Jahannam or&nbsp;<span>Jannah</span> it will be due their own actions. Hence we need to look at ourselves and our actions and try our utmost to save ourselves from Jahannam and enter Jannah.</p>
<p>
As for how to understand, "Allah guides who He wants, so how can we blame someone by not being righteous or Muslim?" we all know&nbsp;<span>hidayat</span> comes from Allah (swt)&nbsp;that should be the premise of this discussion.&nbsp;However if you read up the rebuking of Muhammad (saw) by Allah (swt) in&nbsp;Surah&nbsp;<span>Abasa</span> when he (saw) ignored Abdullah&nbsp;ibn Umm&nbsp;Maktum (<span>ra</span>) since&nbsp;rasoolullah favoured talking to the&nbsp;Quraish who were&nbsp;the&nbsp;pinnacle of&nbsp;Makkan society and thus very important,&nbsp;yet they were not interested in Islam,&nbsp;rather then talking to a blind man who was interested in Islam, Allah (swt) makes it clear that belief is a "willing" action though this willingness comes with guidance which is from Allah (swt) since He (swt) also tells&nbsp;rasoolullah that there is no&nbsp;accountability on him (saw) for people who don't believe. Furthermore Allah (swt) says in&nbsp;Surah Al&nbsp;Baqara verse 7,&nbsp;<strong>"<span style="text-align: justify; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Those who have disbelieved — it being equal to them whether you warn them or warn them not — they will not believe.</span> "</strong>&nbsp;So we know Allah (swt) guides whom He (swt) wills but guidance comes with willingness to acceptance on behalf of the person seeking guidance.</p>

<p>
Walaikum Assalam brother, please clarify what you mean by "Eating in Ramadhan".</p>
<p>
If you mean eating while fasting then we all know that this breaks and thus nullfies your fast so there must be accountability since breaking your fast purposefully and intentionally without a Shari'ah reason is a sin. If however you have a sharee reason for breaking your fast i.e. a women starts her menses while she is fasting or a person vomits while fasting this also breaks and thus nullfies your fast but there is no accountability since in previous Q&amp;A's (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://answers.ahadith.co.uk/509/fasting-exempted-when-person-ill-later-has-make-now-question">http://answers.ahadith.co.uk/509/fasting-exempted-when-person-ill-later-has-make-now-question</a>) exemptions to fasting have been given and these 2 examples count as exemptions to not fasting, though the missed fast will have to be made up.</p>
<p>
And Allah knows best... your brother in Islam</p>http://answers.ahadith.co.uk/527/concerning-ramadan-there-any-accountability-eating-ramadan?show=528#a528Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:45:12 +0000what is the sunnah way of praying witr.http://answers.ahadith.co.uk/522/what-is-the-sunnah-way-of-praying-witr

<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Apart from numerous other significances of 'saum' thr most significant feature of 'saum' is that the Prophet Muhammad - Peace be upon him - said; " what ever a person does (good deeds) he is rewarded from 10 times to 700 times, but the reward of 'saum' is exempted from it. And the Allaah says; 'as this 'saum' is for Me, only I shall reward at My Own (to the person who observed 'saum')'. [Bukhari, hadith 1894, Muslim - hadith 2707]</span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Other features of 'saum' are; </span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The smell of the mouth of saum-observing person is better than 'musk'. [Bukhari - hadith 1894]</span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">There is a door of 'janna' (paradise) called 'Rayyaan' and only a saum-observing person can enter into 'janna' through this door. [Muslim - hadith 2710]</span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">However other 'ibada' have their own significances. The highest significance of 'sala' (prayers) is that it was gifted&nbsp; by Allaah Himself to Prophet Muhammad - Peace be upon him - during 'Mairaj' and above the seven heavens.</span></span></span></p>

<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">There is no ambiguity regarding fasting for persons who are unable because of any sort of illness or during traveling. Allaah says in Qur’an;</span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em>&nbsp;</em></span></span></span><span style="color:#006400;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em>“and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Sawm (fasts) must be made up] from other days. Allaah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. (He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allaah [i.e. to say Takbeer (Allaahu Akbar: Allaah is the Most Great)] for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him” [al-Baqarah 2:185]</em></span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">If&nbsp; a person is unable to fast because of illness or traveling. then he has to make up the fasts (after Eid and in the month of Shawwal) for the days (of illness and traveling), he has missed, when he becomes able to.</span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">However, if there is no hope – according to doctors – that one may be cured and recovered from his sickness or that his illness worsens if he fasts, then he is exempted from fasting. As for compensation he has to pay ‘fidya’ or to feed one poor person for every day that he misses.</span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">There is no such thing like ‘qasr’ (short) 'saum' (fast) for sick persons like ‘qasr’ (short) ‘salah’ (prayers) for travelers.</span></span></span></p>

<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">There are different opinions in catching the 'rakah' of salah in congregation. According to hadith in Bukhari, Muslim and others, the Prophet -Peace be upon him - said; "There is no prayers for the one who does not recite the opening of the book i.e. al-Faatihah". It means that while joining a 'rakah' one could not recite al-Faatihah, this 'rakah' is not accounted for and it is assumed that this 'rakah' is not offered and is to be offered after 'tasleem'. </span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Some scholars are of the opinion that if one joins the 'rakah' and finds 'ruku' it means he has offered the 'rakah'.</span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">On the other hand there are scholars who opined that if a persons joins the 'sajda' (prostration) of the 'rakah' it means he has offered the 'rakah'. </span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">What ever appeals to your heart, do it. To avoid any doubt and be satisfied, would it not be better to choose the first option. </span></span></span></p>

<p>
<span style="color:#000080;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Recitation of Qur'an is described as 'Awwal-ul-dhikr' - the best of words to recite. To recite Qur'an (whether memorized or otherwise) any time and at any place (except in bath room) is the most recommended affair.

<p>
<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The question requires two clarifications; i) does the wife repent and asks for Allaah’s mercy and forgiveness and &nbsp;ii) does the wife sincerely </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">promise not to get involved in such activity in future and remain faithful to her husband.</span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">If the answers to above clarifications is ‘yes’, and the wife wishes to start a new righteous life then the husband ‘may’ keep her and&nbsp; Inshal</span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">lah the husband will be rewarded for his kindness and concealing her (wife’s) sin.</span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">If the answer to above clarifications is ‘no’, then it is obligatory for the husband to divorce her, and there are several ‘ahadith’ in this regard.</span></span></p>

<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">One the shortest and most comprehensive ‘dua’ that covers worldly affairs as well as those of ‘here-after’ is;</span></span></span></p>

Assalaamu'Alaikum WarahmatUllahe Wabarakatuho</p>
<p>
If you mean to say that do you have to remember that verses where you had to do prostration, then it is not required to know. Because in most cases symbols at end of verse is made where one had to do prostration. And in some copies it is writtent at side of verse outside border (if there is any). The best way to know about the copy of Quran you have is to check a verse where there is prostration required and see that what kind of icon/symbol is made. Forexample you can check <span class="entry-content">Al-A’raaf (7) : verse 206.</span></p>

<strong>"A person can&nbsp; read it from book, Memorization is not 'Must'. Also other duas which are in Quraan or Ahadith, one can do while looking at text as well."</strong></p>

But one should have intention of it (intention of doing dua) as well as it will be better and is recommended by many people to know translation first.

<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">It is correct that as-Sattaar is not mentioned either in Qur’an or hadith, instead&nbsp; as-Sitteer is one of the names of Allaah swt mentioned in hadith that is&nbsp; narrated by Abu Dawood (4012) that the Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah is characterized by modesty (al-Hayye) and concealment (as-Sitteer), and He loves modesty and concealment. When one of you washes himself, let him conceal himself.” It was classed as saheeh by Shaikh Nasir uddin al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’.</span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Shaikh Imam Abd al-Wahhaab &nbsp;(1703 – 1792) in his book ‘<em>Kitaab At-Tawheed’</em> (Ch. 49) writes that it is not permissible to derive names for Allah from the verbs used in the Qur'an to describe His Actions: Thus, we may not refer to Him as Al-Mun'im (the Provider of Blessings), even though the Qur'an speaks of His <em>Ni'am </em>(Blessings), nor is it allowed for us to call Him <em>As-Sattaar </em>(the Veiler) even though He has been described as <em>As-Satteer</em> (derived from the same verb) in an authentic Hadith; and whoever does so is in error.</span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">According to Sheikh Muhammad ibn al-Uthaymeen at-Tamimi (1925– 2001) the names of Allaah can only be known through Qura’n and sound texts of hadeeth, with no room for <em>ijtihad</em>, so He is not to be called by anything except that by which he called Himself or that His Messenger (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) called Him.&nbsp;</span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">However, some scholars from South Asian countries &nbsp;are of the opinion that the root word of ‘as-Sattaar’ is ‘Satr’ or ‘Sitr’ meaning veil, cover, conceal, curtain, shelter etc. and ‘Sitteer’ means one who covers or conceals the bad deeds of some one and ‘as-Sitteer’ means the ‘Lord’ Who is best of ‘Coverer’ and Who conceals the bad deeds of mankind, thus ‘as-Sattaar’ is synonymous to ‘as-Sitteer’. Also as ‘al-Ghaffaar’ or ‘al-Ghaffoor’ relates to ‘al-Ghafir’, (40:3) and ‘al’Qahhaar’ (39:4) relates to ‘al-Qaahir’ (6:18), ‘as-Sattaar relates to ‘as-Sitteer’. </span></span></span></p>

<p>
There are fourteen places in the Qur’aan where sajdat al-tilaawah (prostration of recitation) are to be performed when reciting them.</p>
<p>
&nbsp;</p>
<p>
1 - al-A’raaf 7:206&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2 - &nbsp;al-Ra’d 13:15&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3 – al-Nahl 16:49</p>
<p>
4 – al-Isra’ 17:107&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5 - &nbsp;Maryam 19:58&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6 – al-Hajj 22:18</p>
<p>
7 – al-Furqaan 25:60&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8 – al-Naml 27:25&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9 – al-Sajdah 32:15</p>
<p>
10 – Saad 38:24&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 11 – Fussilat 41:37&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 12 – al-Najm 53:62&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>
13 – al-Inshiqaaq 84:21&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 14 – al-‘Alaq 96:19</p>
<p>
Based upon certain ahadith (though not sound) Imam Shafa’i also recommended fifteenth sajada at verse 77 of al-Hajj. Some of the Sahaabah used to prostrate when reciting it, which could be taken as evidence, especially since no one is known to have disputed with them in this regard.</p>
<p>
<strong>Matters relating to Sajdat al-tilaawah:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
Sujood al-tilaawah, whether during prayer or outside of it, is <strong>Sunnah, not obligatory</strong>, because evidence to that effect was narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), in the hadeeth of Zayd ibn Thaabit and in the hadeeth of ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him).&nbsp;</li>
<li>
It is better to have <strong>wudoo’</strong> and <strong>face towards Qiblah</strong> for sujood al-tilaawah.</li>
<li>
It is prescribed to say <strong>takbeer</strong> when prostrating, because evidence to that effect is proven in the hadeeth. &nbsp;</li>
<li>
There is <strong>no salaam or takbeer</strong> when coming up from it.</li>
<li>
But if the sujood al-tilaawah is done <strong>during prayer</strong>, then it is <strong>obligatory to say takbeer</strong> when going down and when coming up, because the Prophet Muhammad saw used to do that in every movement of the prayer,</li>
<li>
It is <strong>obligatory</strong> to say “<strong>Subhaana Rabbiy al-A’laa</strong> (Glory be to my Lord Most High), as is obligatory during the prostration of prayer. Any additional du’aa’ or dhikr is mustahabb (recommended)</li>
<li>
One should <strong>not recite al-Tashahhud</strong> or say salaam after doing sajdat al-tilaawah, because there is no proof that the Prophet Muhammad saw did that.</li>
<li>
AllThe fuqaha’ are agreed upon that sujood al-tilaawah consists of <strong>only one prostration.&nbsp;</strong></li>
<li>
When the Muslim comes to a verse in which there is a sajdah, it is prescribed for him to prostrate and it is <strong>not valid to recite tasbeeh or any other dhikr</strong> instead of that; rather this is an innovation which should be denounced.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<p>
<strong>Sajdat as-shukr (Prostration of gratitude):</strong></p>
<p>
Ibn Qudaamah ra said: the description, rulings and conditions of sujood al-shukr are the same as those for sujood al-tilaawah (prostration required when reciting certain verses of Qur’aan). (al-Mughni, 2/372).</p>
<p>
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen ra said: “Sujood al-shukr is done in response to a calamity that is averted or a blessing which come to a person. It is like sujood al-tilaawah outside prayer. Some of the scholars said that wudoo’ and takbeer is required, and some said that only the first takbeer is required. Then he should fall down in prostration, and make du’aa’ after saying “Subhaana Rabbiy al-A’laa. (Fataawa Islamiyyah, 1/205)</p>
<p>
&nbsp;</p>
<p>
<strong>Single prostration for the sake of du’aa’</strong></p>
<p>
Islam does not prescribe any prostration other than the prostration:</p>
<p>
1) in the prayer (salaah) or</p>
<p>
2) for a specific reason, such as prostration of forgetfulness (sujood al-sahw),or</p>
<p>
3) prostration of recitation (sujood al-tilaawah, required when reading certain verses of the Qur’aan), or</p>
<p>
4) the prostration of gratitude (sujood al-shukr). &nbsp;</p>
<p>
As for prostration for the sake of du’aa’, there is nothing in sharee’ah to indicate that it is permissible or mustahabb. Rather what is proven from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) in many mutawaatir hadeeths is that he used to raise his hands in du’aa’, and he encouraged others to do so.</p>
<p>
There is no evidence that&nbsp; any wazeefa requires prostration.</p>
<p>
Allaah knows the best.</p>

<p>
<span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#0000cd;">The principle for a prayer being 'Qadha'</span></span></span> <span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#0000cd;">is that iits time range expires as soon as the time range of next prayer is due, with the exception of Fajr, the time of which lapses at sunrise. For example, if the time of Asr prayers start at 4.00 pm then the Zuhr prayers can be offered till this time.&nbsp; If Zuhr prayers are offered after 4.00 pm then it will be a Qadha prayer.</span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">However the prayer is a time- related duty, it should be offered at its earliest time as per Sunnah. </span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">According to Islamic rules, midnight is not at 12 o'clock, but the actual mid point between sunset and sunrise. For example, if at a certain place the sun sets at 6.00 pm and rises at 7.00 am then the time of midnight is 12.30 pm.</span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Tahajjud prayers can be offered at any time before Subh Saadiq. If at certain place the time for Subh Saadiq is 5.00 am, tahajjud can ce offered before this time, no matter it is 30 minutes or so.</span></span></span></p>

<p>
First of all we should know who are shuddaa (martyers) ?</p>
<p>
According to ahadith<sup>*</sup> shuhadaa are: There are number of ahadith (Bukhaari, 2674; Bukhaari (2829) and Muslim (1914) Tirmidhi (1846), Abu Dawood (311) and Ibn Maajah (2803) Ahmad (23804),&nbsp; and al-Nasaa’i (1846) according to which the&nbsp; shaheed (Pl. Shuhdaa) the martyers fall into 7 categiries ;</p>
<ol>
<li>
Those who are killed for the sake of Allaah while fighiting against ‘kuffar’ (infidels).&nbsp; Such shuhdaa are not to be wahed (ghusal) and the funeral prayers are not offered for them and they are buried in the same outfits in which they were martyred. Further such shuhdaa are not called dead as they are alive with their Lord and are being fed by Allaah the All-Knower.</li>
<li>
Those who die because of plague. Such shuhdaa are supposed to be washed, provided coffin and their funeral prayers are to be offered.</li>
<li>
Those who die of stomach disease such as diarrhoea, dropsy and pain in the stomach.&nbsp;These are called al-mabtoon. Such shuhdaa are also supposed to be washed, provided coffin and their funeral prayers are to be offered.</li>
<li>
Those who die because of drowning. Such shuhdaa are also supposed to be washed, provided coffin and their funeral prayers are to be offered.</li>
<li>
Those who die as crushed by falling a wall. Included with them are those who die in vehicle rollovers and car crashes, scholars are also of the view that those who are crushed by a moving vehicle also fall in this category. they are like to those&nbsp; who are crushed beneath a falling wall. Such shuhdaa are also supposed to be washed, provided coffin and their funeral prayers are to be offered.</li>
<li>
Those who die because of pleurisy (Inflammation of the pleura of the lungs especially the parietal layer).&nbsp; Such shuhdaa are also supposed to be washed, provided coffin and their funeral prayers are to be offered.</li>
<li>
Those women who die together (with her baby) refers to a woman who dies during pregnancy along with her child or childbirth or immediately afterwards, or during the period of nifaas (postpartum bleeding). (Bukhaari (1332) and Muslim (964).&nbsp;Such shuhdaa are also supposed to be washed, provided coffin and their funeral prayers are to be offered.</li>
</ol>
<p>
* (Bukhaari, 2674; Bukhaari (2829) and Muslim (1914) Tirmidhi (1846), Abu Dawood (311) and Ibn Maajah (2803) Ahmad (23804),&nbsp; and al-Nasaa’i (1846),</p>
<p>
The fuqaha’ are of the view that those who are killed unlawfully. Killed by thieves, criminals or bandits; one who is killed defending himself or his wealth or his life or his religion or his family or the Muslims or ahl al-dhimmah (non-Muslims living under Muslim rule); or one who is killed trying to prevent injustice; or one who dies in prison who has been imprisoned unlawfully&nbsp; may also be called shaheed. Hazrat Umar ra and Hazrat Usman ra are unquestionably shaheed as they were assassinated unlawfully and inhumanly. &nbsp;</p>
<p>
One thing should be kept in mind that we humans decide and call shaheed on face values. However Almighty Allaah decides on the <strong>‘niah’ (intention)</strong> of the person fighting in battles against&nbsp; infidels or against evils. Those who are killed in all ‘Islamic battles’ are shuhdaa and because of the benevolence of Allaah Al-Raheem it is hoped that they will be taken as shaheed. Amen</p>
<p>
And Allaah knows the best.</p>

<span class="qa-c-item-content"><span class="entry-content">The Meaning of Aameen is as my brother said in above answer. And about its importance please read the following Hadith:<br>
<br>
"(1) Narrated AbuZuhayr an-Numayri: AbuMisbah al-Muqra'i said: We used to sit in the company of AbuZuhayr an-Numayri. He was a companion of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him), and he used to narrate good traditions. Once a man from among us made a supplication. He said: End it with the utterance of Amin, for Amin is like a seal on the book. AbuZuhayr said: I shall tell you about that. We went out with the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) one night and came upon a man who made supplication with persistence. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) waited to hear him. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: He will have done something which guarantees (Paradise for him) if he puts a seal to it. One of the people asked: What should he use as a seal? He replied: Amin, for if he ends it with Amin, he will do something which guarantees (Paradise for him). Then the man who questioned the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) came to the man who was supplicating, and said to him: So-and-so, end it with Amin and receive the good news."<br>
(Abu-Dawood)<br>
<br>
PS: There is a hadith which can be translated some how as: Indeed the prayers (supplications) are between earth and sky. Part of it not goes up, unless you send Durood/salat on your Messenger. (Mudalul Namaz, section Dua with reference to Thirmidhi) - Due to this reason many Scholars recommends to say Salawat/Salat ala Nabi/Salat un Nabi/Darood/Durood before and after making supplication/Dua.<br>

I failed to find that who initially constructed that Masjid. But it was in Bani Salma, and All I found is that Our Prophet Muhammad S.A.W offered Zuhr Salat in Bani Salma Masjid and about the event. And some how its structure is given that how it was in that time. Then later on in 893 Hijri it was reconstructed or repaired and shelter was changed by Shaheen Aljamali. It is also said that till Sultan Sulaiman Al-'Esani time the building was there, and in 950 Hijri he constructed it again from start. Then after that it is written that AbulAziz&nbsp; aal saud then extended its Courtyard, built stairs, and a Minara (Tower) for Azan.</p>
